Thanks gumi, it's not like I was psyched I finally managed to break into the 30k ranks or anything :smith: Now I'm down to the mid 40k's and dropping.

This is great. I managed to miss the arena orb fiasco earlier today but I'm just in time to sit down and grind arena thanks to a lapis glitch.

Wait is this an infinite 20 lapis per run? As in you refresh your orbs for 100 lapis and get it all refunded multiple times over?

As of right now, yes it is. Do a fight, get 20 lapis. After 5, claim the 100 from your box and repeat.

I am trying to get ahead of the monthly 30k rank for December so I can do other things instead of waiting on orbs since right now infinite free orbs.

I'm not doing the arena farm thing because gently caress that noise but there are 30k+ point people and lots of 20k+ targets for me to kill for 1.50 multipliers so that's nice.

When Orlandu's out you should see some of the biggest whales sitting at 1000-1100 atk pretty quickly, and going up from there as newer stuff comes out. Excalibur + Sakurafibuki(and later the genji blade from the gilgamesh trial, plus blade mastery), black hood, brave suit, genji glove and a bracer/celestial glove/whatever, then materia like maxwell's TM and lunge combo (or better) ramps up Orlandu really godddamn fast and then they'll break out their 2nd (and 3rd) Orlandu with an extra Excalibur and Deathbringer to chain holy explosions with and post videos showing how they one-round fights that most people will struggle to maybe clear.

Unless the FF15 event gives us a powercreeped-to-hell Noctis and everyone cashes out their 401k for that instead.

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
I wonder how many tickets on average it will take to snag an Orlandu. I'll have about 25 or 30 rares socked away, more if the upcoming events have a decent amount to grind out and 50 gets you 2 11 pulls I think, so that would put me at roughly 50 some pulls, which I have a feeling is nowhere even close to enough. Which the more I think about it the more I don't even want to bother. Realizing I can buy several full games for the cost of getting one stupid guy on a phone game really makes me question my sanity.

Maybe I'll keep it to just one 11 pull and my rares and hope I manage to land any 5 star base out of those. God people must spend ludicrous amounts of money on this stupid game to end up with 5 lightnings and Luneths . That or they just have absurdly better luck than I'll ever have

Judging by normal numbers, since Orlandu's banner is prior to the gacha update:

Rainbow crystals are a 1% Draw Rate. Rate Ups take up half of the rainbow crystal alottment, and there are four 5*-capable units on rateup. Assuming those are split evenly:

.01*.5*.25 = 0.00125, so about a 1 in 1000 chance to get an Orlandu on his "Rate Up". Meaning it will take 1000 draws. On average.

Granted, that number will go up significantly once/if the gacha update hits on Global, since it removes the potential of anything but Base-5s out of a rainbow crystal.

The wiki has the Hanging Edge event page up. It isn't complete but it does have the tradeins and early guide. Assuming it's accurate it.. doesn't look pretty! Highlights are a Crushing Blow AoE edition for Lightning, Snow can get a 50% DEF/SPI self-buff, and there' s a DEF/SPI+10% combined materia for FF13 characters. The rest is the baseline stuff, mats to craft the two exclusive items (although like FFT you only get one of a required mat so you can't make multiples), FF13 character weapons, and purchasable ATK/MAG/DEF/SPI/MP+10% materia. Weee :geno:

What's with all the stuff that's Hope/Fang only? Does that mean they're going to split the banner in half like they did with the FFT event?

thats my bet. I would not suggest spending any summon tickets on this banner until the 2nd week, if you really want to at all.

Sweet merciful jesus. Yeah I think I'll just silently give up on hoping for any of the game changing characters and maybe I'll get real lucky over the course of a year and manage to pull a Luneth or something randomly down the line when I blunder into another rainbow in 6 months. How the hell do people end up with all the banner 5 stars? I've seen a ton of arena teams that are sporting 1 or 2 lightnings plus a Luneth and a gilgamesh or that reaper girl from the previous banner. Madness I say madness

Lightning in Week 2 gives me hope that all our Light friends will get boosts on the stupid event drops. The sooner I can get those gigantuars and, hopefully, tickets/moogle, the sooner I can forget this event ever happened.

Yeah I'm not rolling on the banner at all unless it's lightning. The only good FFXIII characters are Sazh and Liam O'Brien's voice but he doesn't look good enough to roll for.

Whelp, I guess I'm not getting an Exdeath on his rate-up banner. Oh well, my team is strong, and I got a Butz finally.

And a bunch of Anzelms and Lanis and Shantottos.

Also, yeah, it's super likely that the second week of this event will have the rest of the FF 13 characters, it looks like their weapons are for sale.

Attacker materia is a Hero's Ring for FF13 characters, and Defender is a mini Defenders Bracer as a materia.
